Rex Ryan again stood by his quarterback Monday despite Sanchez's struggles in an ugly mistake-filled 30-9 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday that left the Jets coach searching for answers and fans chanting for Tim Tebow to take over.

There's no question, though, that the Jets (3-5) need to figure things
out, and quick. They have games at Seattle and St. Louis after their
bye-week break, followed by a home game on Thanksgiving night against
New England.

Ryan originally planned to have the players report to the facility on
Monday and Tuesday, but decided to give them the full week off to be
with their families and prepare for Hurricane Sandy.

''I want them to get away and when they come back, we have to be all
in,'' Ryan said during a conference call. ''The only chance we have is
if we are 100 percent all in. We have no wiggle room. We need to start
playing a ton better.''

Ryan will brainstorm with his coaches this week before they take a few
days off, and he expects suggestions on how to fix ''everything'' from
everyone on his staff.

''Is it a little change? Is it a radical change?'' Ryan said. ''I'm up for anything.''

While Tebow won't be the solution as the full-time quarterback, Ryan
acknowledged that he'll explore how the versatile backup can be used
more on offense after seeing minimal playing time during the season's
first half. Tebow has played in just 54 offensive plays, averaging less
than seven per game.

''I think we'll take a hard look at how we're using him, what we're
asking him to do,'' Ryan said. ''Are there other things we can do with
him? I think you're absolutely right. We will definitely look at that.''

So much was made in the offseason about how Tebow would add a unique
element to the offense, whether it was in wildcat or read-option
packages, but that certainly hasn't materialized. Last week, offensive
coordinator Tony Sparano said he could ''do a better job'' of using
Tebow.

To his credit, Tebow has not complained publicly, or offered a sliver
of frustration, knowing he could be doing more to help this team.

''I'm just ready and willing,'' said Tebow, who even lined up at wide
receiver Sunday. ''Whenever they call my number, I go out there to help
the team and (I'm) not listening to what the crowd is saying.''

There's a good chance that Tebow will be a large part of the
discussions between the coaches this week, and would understand if the
backup quarterback wasn't thrilled with his role so far.

''Any competitor wants to be out there playing, so it wouldn't be
shocking if that's how he felt,'' Ryan said. ''As a football team, we're
frustrated. We're getting closer and closer, and we thought we were
getting better as a football team, but we took a step back yesterday.''

The Jets allowed a blocked punt to be returned for a touchdown, had a
field goal blocked and Sanchez fumbled on a sack that the Dolphins later
turned into a score. There were mistakes all over the field, and it
wasn't all Sanchez.

''We all understand it comes down to execution,'' center Nick Mangold said. ''It doesn't matter if we have Joe Namath back there if we don't execute.''
